New Citizen POS printer for fast and accurate 2D barcodes

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: New Citizen POS printer for fast and accurate 2D barcodes.

Citizen Systems Europe, manufacturer of high quality label, barcode and industrial printers, has extended its range of Point of Sale printers with a new thermal receipt printer.

The CT-S281 is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for a wide range of POS applications, and can print both conventional and two-dimensional barcodes quickly and easily. The printer is the first low-voltage model from Citizen, ensuring safe and energy efficient operation.

The CT-S281 has been designed to be easy to use and provide long, low maintenance service life. Media can be changed in moments and an auto-cutter makes presenting labels, receipts and documentation simple. In addition, the CT-S281 features serial and USB interfaces, so that it can be easily incorporated into existing applications.

The new printer is capable of printing speeds of up to 80 mm/sec, producing both text and graphics quickly and accurately. The CT-S281 is compatible with a wide range of media types and sizes, up to 58 mm in width and between 60 and 100 microns in thickness.

The innovative POS printer uses Citizens latest MLT-4280 mechanism, which incorporates a zinc-plated die cast frame. This results in excellent shock-resistance, anti-static properties, and low heat build-up, eliminating the most common causes of poor print quality. The CT-S281 printer, available in both white and dark grey, can be held in the hand or mounted on a wall, depending on the specific needs of an application.
